The sx1 was introduced in 73 and produced from 74-81, with 87,700 produced. I?d say yours is in the latter half of the production run. The Winchester book in front of me doesn?t list our the ranges, just the 87,700 number.

Is yours a smooth sided receiver or does it have the scroll engraving?

I definitely regret selling my trap grade sx1.

Thanks, I was actually looking at it at my local pawn shop really clean shotgun might have to go back and get it

You will not regret buying a Winchester Super X Model 1. It does not have any plastic or stamped parts in it. I bought mine in 1975, and I have never had a problem with it. It is an excellent shotgun.

I just purchased a new Ruger 10/22 Halo edition with bull barrel. Whole trigger assembly appears to be plastic.

Thanks Randy D, I?m starting to collect older rifles/shotguns the craftsmanship of them are amazing from the woodwork to the internal parts.
